In the JTBC Wednesday-Thursday drama The Good Bad Mother, Ra Mi Ran discovers a secret message in Lee Do Hyun’s letter. With an explosive response, the viewership rating soared past 9.5 percent, maintaining its steady rise.
In Episode 8, Young Soon (played by Ra Mi Ran) contemplated taking her own life, but thanks to Kang Ho, she had a change of heart. It was in that brief moment when he stood up on both feet that she saw a glimmer of hope. However, he quickly became resolute, leaving his mother behind as he exited the house. When he returned home, Kang Ho questioned why she wanted to leave him behind. Young Soon explained that she was afraid her own pain would burden him, but Kang Ho posed a piercing question, asking, “Did I become a burden to you because I’m sick?” In response, Young Soon sincerely apologized to him and explained that they have now become each other’s ‘guardians.’
As the lost happiness gradually revealed itself between them, Young Soon received a call from the security guard at the place where Kang Ho used to live. It turned out that on Kang Ho’s birthday, he had visited the security office and left a letter. She asked him, “Did you know you would end up like this? Did you want to tell me something with this?” However, Kang Ho’s memories from before the accident remained blurry.
Meanwhile, a surprising discovery was made behind the family photo of Young Soon, Kang Ho, and Hae Sik (played by Cho Jin Woong). This SD card has sparked speculation, suggesting that Kang Ho may have anticipated Tae Soo (played by Jung Woong In) putting him in harm’s way. If this is true, the SD card could hold crucial information for seeking revenge, making Kang Ho’s story even more captivating.
Here are some social media reactions from viewers after watching Episode 8 of The Good Bad Mother:
“Here’s my review of The Good Bad Mother Episode 8:
The way they overlapped baby Kang Ho’s first steps with grown-up Kang Ho’s first step in this episode was absolutely amazing. It had such a powerful impact on me when they depicted Young Soon pushing Kang Ho into the water, fully aware that he couldn’t move his legs. It added so much intensity to the scene and made it even more gripping.”

찐아기강호의 첫 걸음마와 터닝포인트를 맞이한 두번째 생의 아기강호의 첫 걸음마의 오버랩한 장면이 이번 화 최고의 연출이지 않을까 싶다.. 진짜 울컥하게 만듦 너무 간절해서 다리 못 움직이는 아들을 강에 빠뜨리는 장면을 연달아 보여주면서 더 극적으로 느껴지게 한듯

“The more I watch, the more I feel sorry for Choi Kang Ho… Am I right to feel this way? He didn’t harm the baby or the baby’s mother; in fact, he was looking after them. He went to great lengths to cut off the ties with his mother to protect her. But what’s heartbreaking is that he didn’t leave a will or a message of farewell; instead, he left behind a coded message for revenge. I can’t even begin to imagine the emotions he must have experienced. This drama has completely shattered me. The Good Bad Mother and Choi Kang Ho are like the ultimate heartbreakers.”
근데 볼수록 최강호가 너무 불쌍한데 이거맞나요… 애기랑 애기엄마도 안죽이고 돌보고있었던거같고.. 엄마 지키려고 연 끊고… 지 유서도 아니고 진짜 하고싶은 말도 아니고 복수를 위한 암호를 남기고 간 마음이 *발…. 어땠을까 너무 마음이아파… 나쁜엄마 최강호 찌통드라마임..

“The ending of Episode 8 of The Good Bad Mother is mind-blowing.
The sentence “In the memories where the three of us were together” perfectly aligns with the one and only picture and the memory card hidden beneath it.”

Kang Ho is seriously the most adorable thing ever. I mean, come on, he’s finally standing up on his own! Bravo, Kang Ho, you nailed it! You totally deserve all the praise, respect, and admiration in the world. Seriously, he’s such a cutie pie!
